Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is raising toll rates to Dhs6 during rush

hours, up from Dhs4. This forms part of the RTA’s new variable road and parking tariffs.

Off-peak hours will remain at Dhs4, and tolls will be free from 1am to 6am. The changes,

starting at the end of January 2025, aim to improve traffic flow amid the addition of two

new Salik gates, located at Business Bay Crossing on Al Khail Road and Al Safa South on
Sheikh Zayed Road.

The RTA has defined rush hours as 6am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm. Sundays will see a flat
Dhs4 toll, barring public holidays or major events.

Not just Salik increases

Parking costs are also set to rise. From the end of March 2025, premium parking spaces

Around the Dubai World Trade Centre, parking rates will jump to Dhs25 per hour starting
